The Wild Wereboar Team and the Bovine RC5
Effort:

On 21st of November, 1997 we joined the fray!

The Bovine RC5-64 Project is a coordinated effort to beat the RSA Secret-Key
Challenge focusing the spare idle time of thousands of
computers with access to the internet into the goal of testing
assigned blocks of 268,435,456 keys for the right one. More infos
about the whole project are available on Distributed Network's
WebPages.

Our goal:

The Wild Wereboars aren't very concerned with the original
security issues of the RC5-64 encryption algorithm, although we
know its importance. We want to give an higher significance to
the whole project: we consider this great coordinated effort of
thousands of people around the world not differently from the the
monumental works of the ancient societies. The Egyptians built
great pyramids with huge stone blocks using the sheer power of
thousands of slaves, we will repeat those wondrous feats with the
unceasing work of our processors till the end of the project.

The Wild Wereboar Team welcomes the contest as the ultimate
feat of brutal force: testing 18 446 744 073 709 551 616 keys one
by one, bit by bit.

We know we can count just on a little
computational power, but we will give our contribute! Put your
brick on the pyramid!
